Fancy a taste of Supercross?

ECHO Arena Liverpool is showing off its versatility as a venue from the off.

Not only is it hosting large scale gigs and music events, on January 25 and 26 next year it is the setting for Supercross, a breathtaking display of what motorcycles can do when pushed to the limit.

Five thousand tonnes of soil will be shifted into the arena to create a four-lane dirt obstacle course, from which motorcyclists from throughout Europe and USA will perform jumps and leap over obstacles in the quest for points in rounds two and three of the journey to the title of British Supercross Champion.

Confirmed guests include the 2005 British Supercrosschampion, 18-year-old Colton Facciotti of Canada.

Ticket prices vary from £20 to £30 and the doors open at 6pm on both evenings for a 7pm start. Book on 0844 8000 400 or visit www.accliverpool.com

Formby Times has a family pass for four people to attend the Supercross event on Friday, January 25, 2008.
